SUSS Academy launches the Post Alumni Continuing Education (PACE) scheme to serve the SUSS Alumni in their mid-career years to upskill and continue their affiliation with the university in their lifelong learning pursuits.
From July 2024 semester onwards, PACE will be available for all SUSS graduates who are 40 years and above, and have not fully utilised the ACE+, Resilience or current ACE scheme. They will be eligible for two free graduate CET modular courses (up to 10 credit units) to be taken within five years from the commencement of the first course. These modular courses are stackable to our graduate programmes if relevant to a Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma or Masters qualification.
Eligibility
i) All SUSS graduates who have completed their undergraduate degree programmes or graduate degree programmes (i.e. Graduate Diploma, Masters and Ph.D.)
ii) All eligible graduates must be 40 years and above upon commencing their free modular course(s) with SUSS Academy.
iii) All eligible graduates can take up to 2 free modular courses (up to 10 credit units) within 5 years upon commencing their modular courses with SUSS Academy. Unused credit units will be forfeited if not fully used within the eligibility period.
iv) Graduates who have claimed all their entitlements under the ACE+, Resilience or ACE scheme will not be eligible for PACE even upon completion of other degrees with SUSS.
